I go with Xenobia and Laike. Xenobia's more of a hard headed -Borgan-, so she won't go down easily giving the advatange against Jean and Laike is the -Dragon Diamond- with a sword and if its him in his Dragonmaster Prime, then he has magic, making it safe to say he would beat Blade.

A:She's sexier then Xenobia.B:She has 5 attacks per round to Laike's 3.C:She overcame physical and mental abuse by Lunn to become the strong, independent woman she is.D:Xenobia died loving Ghaleon, who didn't give a crap about her.E:Laike isn't even that badass for a level 99 character. At the same level, Alex has 5 attacks and much better stats.F:Blade is irrelevant, really.

Don't blame me, Lucia promised me lots of snuggles and cuddles if I would be her PR guy.

Blade is much better than Xenobia. Whereas Xenobia is defined entirely by her clinging on to Ghaleon, Blade is very much his own man. More than that, Xenobia's attraction is a one-sided one to someone who's manipulative and evil. Blade's attraction is to someone who's a strong and independent girl, and the one-sidedness is only due to their youth, not any sort of manipulative ends.

Blade clearly outdoes Xenobia. And Jean vs Laike? I'd have to give it to Jean. Laike is a has-been. KF

For me, it's that I like both characters, not just Xenobia. With Jean and Blade, I like Jean, and am neutral about Blade. If it were Xenobia v. Jean or Laike v. Jean, I'd vote Jean. (Well, I'd have to pause and think in the second case, but I'd probably vote Jean.)
